These are very small nodules that about half of people would have on ultrasound.  This is most often benign and does not need biopsy - only repeat ultrasound in 6-12 months to confirm stability.  The description is typical for Hashimoto's thyroiditis -- inflammation of the thyroid that may cause hypothyroidism.  I-123 (nuclear scanning) is not needed to test your thyroid in situations like this.
